AIRHEAD Inflatable EZ Water Ski Trainer Designed for Kids & Adults

I purchased this for our granddaughter to use on our vacation in Deep Creek MD. She is six years old and this was her first time skiing. She loved it and could not get enough. At about $100 this was money well spent since it made her vacation one to remember. She was so proud of her new ability to water ski. The ski trainer seems safe, well made, and should last a long time. It also gives the child the confidence to advance to actual water skiing. I am very happy with this purchase.

We bought this little ski trainer for our 4 and almost 3 year-old children. It was an instant hit as they love the idea of something that is just for them and cute! The trainer is well-built with nice valves and it's own handles for towing and pulling. The material covering the bladders seems nice and thick so we're expecting it to last well. We loaded each kid on directly from the boat (as Lake Mead was a little cold at the time) and then pulled them by hand at approx 10mph. They liked it, but didn't dare stand up the first time. They had a couple of goes each and then were indifferent. The next time out, with the water a little warmer, they loved it. They were standing up and enjoying the feeling of 'skiing!' I'm sure they will grow to love the device. Whether it teaches them much about skiing I don't know, but so far as a fun activity, its been great.

1st use, I taught a 5 year old, then a 3 yr old, then a 2 yr old each to waterski, first try. This thing is awesome! You should have seen the faces on the parents! It's similar to a mini jet ski. The kids just sit on it to start, then they just stand up and smile for the crowd on the beach.

The best way to boost your kids confidence on the water!! All the cousins love it and fight for whose turn is next! Fun for all!

My grandkids love it! 2 years of age to 7 years of age!

Kids enjoy an easy learning experience. The ski is designed to have a person on the boat hang on to the ski with a second attached ski rope. We have found that not to be practical. Instead we hook the handle over our towing pole and a person manages it.

I didn't realize this when I ordered, but this product is actually two real skis with curved tips and (heelless) bindings hidden underneath the fabric. They're bound together with the fabric so they can't slide apart (the first training feature), and then there's an inflatable U around the outside so it's harder for the child to fall sideways (second training feature), and finally there's an inflatable seat between the skis so it's easier to get moving without forcing the child to keep their balance while standing up immediately (third training feature). A 4 year old in my group immediately figured it out and stood up without prompting on the third run. The only downsides are the weight capacity (the larger version is harder to find) and the cheap rope (which is easily replaced. Awesome!

Easy to pull. Safe for littles (4 and 6). Sturdy. Kids felt comfortable and stable at all times. Able to sit and stand at their leisure. Highly recommend for littles who are wanting to learn to water ski.

Great starter tool for the budding skier. It’s really easy to go above the recommended speed. The kids mastered this very quickly, and they absolutely love it. It does require them to lean back quite a bit to keep the nose up out of the water. If they don’t, it can nose dive and throw the rider. I’d recommend this anyone with kids to get them started on standing on skis.

Both girls love this. One 5 year old and a 2 and a half year old love to ski on this. We pull them behind the pontoon and they can either stay up or sit on the bench. They can ride the waves or just sit and enjoy the ride. Best thing ever to initiate them to regular skis. Easy to pull and great fun all day. Glad I bought the smaller model.

This item is a brilliant design! They could stand when they felt confident and sit when they were tired. Our young sons are both very tall and sturdy for their ages (6 & 8) and I had no problem holding the tow rope at the back of the boat.

Very easy and safe for young kids to use. It really teachers youngsters what it feels like to be towed by the boat....a great coaching tool. The Airhead AHEZ-100 EZ Ski is a well made, quality product!

Great for teaching kids to water ski! Our 5 and 7 year old grandkids LOVE this ski trainer. Has two water skis enclosed in a unit they sit on - almost like a GT Snow Racer. Helps kids safely get the feel of standing, balancing and leaning back on skis - they can sit down when tired or nervous. Great purchase.
